Whats better,grinding a crank or line boring?

Thanks for that Cracked. Now the question is can I get the K1 crank in a drop in form? Fit right into the 400 block and has the 3.92 stroke?

I always thought the reason I would have to clearance bearings is because of the rolled radius added in for strength when grinding. Apparently there are no 400 main bearings that will fit this radius,thus the "hacking",lol.

no John,I dont want chinese crap.Not a fan,never have or will be thanks...
I have too many friends here and back east who have lost thier jobs due to the chinese flooding our canadian market with junk. BC isnt as affected as we are not as industry based but it still matters to me.
Im so antichinese I passed on the stealth heads on the chance the raw castings may be chinese. Seems to be the way 440 source rolls with thier stuff.

Soooo without turning this into a china bashing post (this will be started later,lol) what sort of crank/bottom end is 440jim running?

Low nines sounds cool but I doubt I can get there without extensive mods to the heads..

Cold weather block?
